Observation details
Pond B. Juvenile Night Heron with Short thick bill and small spots on wings. Black bill no yellow showing. Longer legs than BCNH. Try to be quite when parking, the YCNH was very near parking and rest room area, just over the bank in the pond B. Note: I saw this bird about 10 AM. Earlier I was down at Mystic Lake. I saw lots of Night Heron fishing on the lake. This bird may have been one of them. I say this because I saw many of the Night Herons flying from the lake into the pond areas after they had got their fill. Ponds B C and D have recently been filled. They may not be full of food for Herons. But as I looked around these ponds I saw a number of Night-Herons and Green Herons, so they seem to like those ponds for now.
